In @bradfordtanda.bsky.social 📰: PM #AndyBurnham must break #Brexit silence. Ignoring £182bn annual #UKEconomy hit makes better public services impossible. @europeanmovement.co.uk: This isn't time to sideline #EU reset! #Bradford #UKPolitics #RejoinEU 👇 Also view & share via @bestforbritain.org 👇

Letter headed "Burnham's Brexit silence", which appeared in the "Telegraph & Argus" (Bradford) on 5 August 2026. After a series of other announcements during his first fortnight in office, the writer argues new Prime Minister Andy Burnham must spell out his administration's approach to Brexit and the European Union.

EU membership is the best way to grow the UK economy. 🔊 'Mr Burnham cannot present himself as a "step forward" while sliding backwards on Europe. To fund social care without raising taxes or borrowing, he urgently needs economic growth.'

So much for Andy Burnham giving power to local communities! Instead of social housing, a data centre. Thanks, Angela Rayner! This will drive locals out, destroy one of London's most vibrant ethnic communities, drive up house prices & result in water shortages. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Approval of east London datacentre labelled ‘slap in the face’ for local democracy

Campaigners decry Angela Rayner’s backing for Brick Lane project that has only 11 affordable homes

Kansas is the only red state where Democratic appointees are a majority on the state Supreme Court, and it will stay that way for years to come after voters rejected this GOP power grab in a landslide. Kansas voters have repeatedly rejected Republican attempts to ban abortion since the Dobbs ruling

New York Times election results graphic for Kansas's Amendment 1. Explanatory text notes the measure, introduced by Republicans frustrated by the appointed court's support of abortion rights, seeks to overhaul how Kansas Supreme Court justices are selected. If passed, the seven justices would no longer be appointed by the governor and would instead be elected to six-year terms. Latest results from 6:01 AM ET, with more than 95% of votes in, from AP. "No" is marked with a check as the winner, with 375,355 votes, or 61.3%. "Yes" has 236,800 votes, or 38.7%. Total reported: 612,155. Below, a county map of Kansas shades results from teal for Yes to orange for No, with the darkest shades indicating margins of 70% or more. Topeka and Wichita are labeled. The map is closely divided county by county, with teal and orange counties interspersed across the state; most shading on both sides is in the lighter, roughly 60-percent range. Teal predominates somewhat in the western half. The darkest orange counties, at 70% or more for No, cluster in the northeast around and east of Topeka. Sedgwick County, containing Wichita, is shaded orange.

NEW: Voters have rejected Republicans' scheme to unseat the Kansas Supreme Court's Dem-appointed majority and overturn abortion rights. Amendment 1 would have let the GOP replace the system of a nominating commission, gubernatorial appointment, and retention elections with direct partisan elections

Multinational corporations dodge $500bn tax by shifting profits to low/no tax jurisdictions. Stifle social development. Need a simple change - must pay tax where they actually create profit, instead of where they pretend to on paper. UK can collect extra $16.9bn a yr. Must check corporate abuse.

most people are just fed up with it being shoehorned into every, single thing. it'd be great to use AI as a tool only, but it's like building a bird house and the hammer you're trying to use only wants to make a tree house, and actively puts the wood and nails behind a paywall subscription.

El-Sayed: There is so much more that unites us, however much we might disagree with our democratic opponent, there is so much more that unites us than divides us. And so to all of our supporters here tonight watching on TV—tomorrow, we begin to mend fences.

Phang: "Capital One said, 'We don't want the business anymore of the 45th president of the United States, his businesses, his failed sons, and his revocable trust.' So you can imagine -- I am just hypothesizing... but it suggests whatever Capital One uncovered was pretty bad. Makes you wonder..."

On top of operating costs private healthcare companies pay huge salaries to CEOs & directors siphoning off massive profits to shareholders But Farage & Lowe want us believe having £billions less money to play with enables private healthcare providers to give a better more caring service Idiocy!
